BARUKHZY HOUND AFGHAN BOB. IMPORTED BY CAPTAIN CARY-BARNARD IN 1902 more shaggy and corded appearance. The dis- tinctions are also found in the distribution of the feathering. While the body of the Slughi Shami should be smooth and the legs slightly feathered, the Barukhzy hound is very much feathered underneath the body, and on thighs and shoulders, chest, legs, and especially the feet, which the Afghans consider an essential point. The tail is scarcely feathered, and carried like a sabre, unlike the curled and conspicuously feathered tail of the " Persian " type. The ears are similar, but the Barukhzy's are generallj' longer and the head is domed. The texture of the coat is soft and silky. Colour black and tan, black, and golden Height, 24 inches to 30 inches. Weight. 50 lb. to 60 lb. V. The Rampur Hound, or Greyhound of Northern India.— From Rampur in North-West India comes the hound that bears this name. It is a large Greyhound of powerful, coarse build, very fast, being much valued and principally employed for hunting jackal, and is useful for running dowTi wounded big game. It is described as follows : " The head is long, and flat between the ears, which are filbert-shaped and set close to the cheeks. The jaws formidable, nose decidedly Roman. The eyes bright yellow, and expression hard and cruel. The coat is like that of a newly clipped horse, mouse-grey, or black; dogs of the latter colour being the rarest and considered the best. The loin is not promi- nently arched. The tail is carried horizon- tally, slightly curled upwards at the end, and :'s not fringed or tufted. The legs are straight and long, with hocks well let ; The feet stand the hard ground, whereas an English Greyhound's will not. Height, 29 inches to 30 inches ; weight, average 75 lb.
